Film Poster

We finally finished our film poster after weeks of editing and tweeking. We experimented with many fonts and colours and the main picture needed further editing, mostly around the edges of peoples faces. We came to a group decision that we would use the font 'comic sans' for the tag line and the titles on our film poster. We done a lot of our research on the film poster for the film 'Juno', as this film was also made by 'Fox searchlight' so this helped us to make it look more professional by focussing it around the 'Juno' film poster. We added the 'Fox searchlight' logo to help it look more professional and realistic. We decided to be unconventional by having the poster landscape instead of portrait and by having other people in the background, instead of it just being focused on the main characters, We did this because the film is generally unconventional and we wanted to emphasise this with our film poster.

Once we finally completed our film poster we created a questionnaire and handed it out to 20 people aged 15-18 as this is our target audience:

1) By looking at the film poster, what do you think the storyline/plot is?Most candidates replied with 'comdey' or 'romantic comedy'

2) Can you determine the main character?All candidates replied yes

3) What are your opinins on the colour scheme?Most candidates replied that it 'suits the genre' and is 'bright and eyecatching'

4) What do you think of the fonts?All replied 'clear and easy to read' and 'suits the genre'

5) Does it look professional?All candidates replied 'yes'

6) Can you see any significant mistakes?All candidates replied 'No'

The positive feedback that we got back allows us to feel postive and confident about our film poster, as before we got any feedback we had doubts that the main characters would not be easily determined and that people wouldn't understand what the poster was advertising.
